Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency
3rd-Gulfstream, $50K, Msw, 3yo, 6f, post time: 1:05 p.m. ET
One week after ‘TDN Rising Star’ Mutasaabeq made a victorious sophomore debut in the Mucho Macho Man S., Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Stable is set to be represented by another son of Into Mischief in the form of first-time starter LAMUTANAATTY. Pegged as the 7-2 second choice on the morning line, the $177K Fasig-Tipton November weanling turned $700K Keeneland September yearling is out of a winning daughter of MSW Win’s Fair Lady (Dehere), a full-sister to MGSW/GISP Graeme Hall; and a half to GISW Harmony Lodge (Hennessy) and GSW Win McCool (Giant’s Causeway). Win’s Fair Lady is the dam of GSW First Passage (Giant’s Causeway), who bred GSW Berned (Bernardini). Lamutanaatty, who sold for $115K in utero at KEENOV in 2017, is bred on the same cross over Gone West-line mares as Into Mischief’s Grade I winners Authentic and Mia Mischief. TJCIS PPs

PRICEY NYQUIST FIRSTER DEBUTS AHEAD OF JANUARY SALE
5th-Gulfstream, $50K, Msw, 3yo, 6f, post time: 2:05 p.m. ET
Less than a week before he sells as part of the complete dispersal of the estate of the late Paul Pompa, Jr., UNTREATED (Nyquist) gets his career underway Saturday afternoon. A son of GSP Fully Living (Unbridled’s Song), the bay colt was knocked down for $550K at KEESEP in 2019, the most expensive of his sire’s 44 first-crop yearlings reported as sold that year. Untreated’s second dam, Half A.P. (Pulpit), is a half-sister to champion Halfbridled (Unbridled). Chad Brown trains the April foal and has given the call to Irad Ortiz, Jr. Untreated, whose year-younger half-sister by Medaglia d’Oro fetched $800K as KEESEP last fall, is cataloged as hip 1564 at Keeneland next Thursday.

UNCLE MO COLTS DRAW INSIDE AND OUT GOING A MILE
7th-Gulfstream, $50K, Msw, 3yo, 1m, post time: 3:15 p.m. ET
ROSENQUIST (Uncle Mo) is a daughter of Not in Jest (Unbridled’s Song), a full-sister to ‘TDN Rising Star’ and GISW Cross Traffic, who was offered carrying this colt in utero at FTKNOV in 2017, but was led out unsold when bidding stalled out at $700K. The February-foaled bay, a $750K KEESEP acquisition, is the first foal from his dam, who is also responsible for the now juvenile colt Dr. Perry (Into Mischief), who made $690K at KEESEP in 2020; and a yearling filly by Medaglia d’Oro. First Task (Uncle Mo), a $300K KEENOV weanling, was successfully resold for $725K at KEESEP and is out of a daughter of SW Cascading (Smart Strike). The latter’s dam Teeming (Storm Cat), who produced GISW Streaming (Smart Strike) and SW Treasuring (Smart Strike), was a half-sister to GI Belmont S. winners Rags to Riches (A.P. Indy) and Jazil (Seeking the Gold), GSW Casino Drive and SW Man of Iron (Giant’s Causeway). TJCIS PPs

TOP-SELLING EXAGGERATOR COLT GETS GOING
7th-Santa Anita, $61K, Msw, 3yo, 1mT, post time: 6:05 p.m. ET
EXALTED JOY (Exaggerator) cost $400K as a KEESEP yearling, a price which was the joint most-expensive of Exaggerator’s 63 first-crop yearlings sold in 2019 and tops among his colts. The chestnut is out of Classic Joy (Kitten’s Joy), a daughter of MGSW & GISP Classic Stamp (Regal Classic), the dam of MSW Regal Conqueror (Sky Conqueror) and granddam of last year’s Breeders’ S. third English Conqueror (English Channel). Classic Joy was a $95K buyback at KEENOV in 2017. Earls Rock (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}) is an interesting foe making his U.S. debut. He was a first-out second Sept. 4 at Down Royal in Ireland to A Case of You (Ire) (Hot Streak {Ire}), who returned to take the G3 Anglesey S. in his next start. TJCIS PPs

Admission Office Returns in Tropical Park

Amerman Racing LLC’s Admission Office (Point of Entry) will return from a six-month layoff in Saturday’s GIII Tropical Turf S. at Gulfstream Park. Trained by Brian Lynch, the 6-year-old finished in the top three on four occasions in 2019, including in the GII Fort Lauderdale S. at Gulfstream in December. Eighth in the Pegasus Turf, he rebounded to finish second in the 11-furlong GII Mac Diarmida S. at the Hallandale oval last February before coming home fourth in the 8 1/2-furlong Sunshine Forever S. in May. Most recently, he came from off the pace to score in Churchill’s Louisville S. June 13.

“We would have loved to run in the Pegasus Turf again, but he hasn’t run since June,” explained Lynch. “He needed some time off after his last race and the Pegasus Turf comes up too soon.”

He added, “He’s coming back at a distance that isn’t really ideal for him, but it’s a good starting point. The good thing about this race is there’s plenty of pace, which ideally suits

Gulfstream..He’s his own worst enemy. He gives himself too much to do. He needs the ideal trip and the heavens to open up. He needs a clean path. He’s such a big horse, when you get him stopped, it’s hard to get him started again. He can be his own worst enemy the way he takes himself out of it, but we’ve been seeing a lot of maturity in him.”

Ride a Comet (Candy Ride {Arg}) is undefeated in two starts in 2020, both over Woodbine’s Tapeta surface. A come-from-behind victor in a seven furlong optional claimer in October, the John Oxley and My Meadowview runner took the GII Kennedy Road S. at six furlongs Nov. 21. The Mark Casse trainee has won at distances ranging from six to nine furlongs throughout his career, including the 2018 GII Del Mar Derby. Tyler Gaffalione gets the call.

William Lawrence’s Analyze It (Point of Entry), favored at 2-1 on the morning line, will scratch due to a quarter crack issue per Daily Racing Form’s Mike Welsch.
